INTERESTING HISTORY!
At the very beginning of his book, "The Nehru Dynasty", astrologer K.N.Raomentions the names of Jawaharlal's father and grandfather.Jawahar Lal's father was believed to be Motilal and Motilal's father was oneGangadhar Nehru.And we all know that Jawaharlal's only daughter was Indira Priyadarshini Nehru;Kamala Nehru was her mother, who died in Switzerland of tuberculosis.She was totally against Indira's proposed marriage with Feroze.
Why? No one tells us that!
Now, who is this Feroze?We are told by many that he was the son of thefamily grocer .The grocer supplied wines,etc. to Anand Bhavan (previously known as IshratManzil)What was the family grocer's name?One frequently hears that Rajiv Gandhi's grandfather was Pandit Nehru.But then we all know that everyone has two grandfathers, the paternal and thematernal grandfathers.In fact, the paternal grandfather is deemed to be the more important grandfather inmost societies.
Why is it then, no where, we find Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather's name?It appears that the reason is simply this. Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather was a Muslim gentleman from the Junagadh area of Gujarat.
This Muslim grocer by the name of Nawab Khan, had married a Parsiwoman after converting her to Islam.
This is the source where from the myth of Rajiv being a Parsi was derived.Rajiv's father Feroze, was Feroze Khan before he married Indira, againstKamala Nehru's wishes.
Feroze's mother's family name was Ghandy
, often associated with Parsisand this was changed to Gandhi,sometime before his wedding with Indira, by anaffidavit.
The fact of the matter is
that
(and this fact can be found in many writings)
Indira was very lonely. Chased out of the Shantiniketan University by Guru DevRabindranath himself for misdemeanor, the lonely girl was all by herself,while father Jawahar was busy with politics, pretty women and illicit sex;the mother was in hospital.Feroze Khan, the grocer's son was then in England and he was quitesympathetic to Indira and soon enough she changed her religion, became aMuslim woman and married Feroze Khan in a London mosque.
Nehru was not happy; Kamala was dead already or dying. The news of thismarriage eventually reached Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
(better known asMahatma Gandhi)
.Gandhi urgently called Nehru and practically ordered him to ask the young manto change his name from Khan to Gandhi. It had nothing to do with change of religion, from Islam to Hinduism for instance.It was just a case of a change of name by an affidavit. And so Feroze Khanbecame Feroze Gandhi.The surprising thing is that the apostle of truth, the old man soon to be declaredIndia's Mahatma and the 'Father of the Nation' didn't mention this game of his inthe famous book, 'My Experiments with Truth'.
Why?
When they returned to India, amock 'Vedic marriage' was instituted for publicconsumption.On this subject,writes M.O. Mathai (a longtime Private Secretary of Nehru) in hisrenowned(but now suppressed by the GOI! )'Reminiscences of the Nehru Age'on page94, second paragraph: "
For some inexplicable reason, Nehru allowed the marriage to be performed according to Vedic rites in 1942. An inter-religiousand inter-caste marriage under Vedic rites at that time was not valid in law. Tobe legal, it had to be a civil marriage
